About me | www.amritatandonart.com

I paint because there is nothing more I would rather be doing. It gets me up in the morning looking forward to the possibilities the day may bring.

My work is about the pleasure of seeing; and finding a place and moment of quietude and connection. I am constantly exploring new ideas, the subject matter varies, each a reflection of emotions and experiences at particular times in my life. I enjoys investigating different facets of nature and man, from the mighty to the mundane, through the filter of my collective experiences. I do not merely replicate what I see, but reinterpret through brush stroke, colour palette, subject and composition, what sparks my interest.

I don’t believe in tying myself down to a particular style or theme, but attempt to change and evolve continuously.

I am greatly influenced by my nomadic life. In my formative years I lived across the length and breadth of India, a sub-continent of extreme diversity of landscape, people, culture and language. Later I lived in vibrant cities like Tokyo, Dublin, Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore and now Hong Kong, each having contributed to expanding my creative horizon.

For the past few years I have been exploring what I like to call 'Personal Geographies'-delving into memories, places and experiences that mark my continuing journey. My latest paintings have evolved from such introspections.

I work predominantly in acrylic and oils but make forays into pastels, cold wax medium and colour pencils and enjoy exploring new media.

My artworks are held in private collections in Hong Kong, USA, UK, Canada, Singapore, Australia and India.
